Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be suitably located having regard to relevant development plan and national planning policies concerning the location of hot food takeaways
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers

What decided it

The proposal's location within walking distance of a secondary school and youth spaces, combined with the nature of hot food takeaway use, conflicts with Policy 23 Part 5C of the Local Plan and paragraph 97 of the NPPF which seek to resist such uses in these locations.

Framework references: 97

Plan policies cited: Policy 23 Part 5C, Policy 23 Part 5B, Policy 5, Policy 23 Part 5A

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
